The shrine is located between the Gion and Higashiyama districts and dominates the main avenue Shijō-dōri.It is said to have been founded in 876. It is called Gion-san, as it is considered by the inhabitants of Kyoto as the real guardian of the Gion district. It is very popular during Hatsumode, i.e. visits to the shrine for New Year's greetings. The shrine is also at the heart of the great Gion Matsuri festival which takes place in July and is undoubtedly one of the most famous festivals in all of Japan.

Un joli petit sanctuaire shinto au cœur de l'un des plus beaux quartiers de Kyoto
Assez animé le week-end, ce sanctuaire shinto est certes modeste mais bien décoré. Situé dans le très animé quartier de Gion, il est difficile de manquer ce site étant donné qu'une grande porte rouge en marque l'entrée. Un conseil : mieux vaut privilégier une visite nocturne car les lampions, alors allumés, lui confèrent une atmosphère sacrée extrêmement captivante.
The best at Kyoto and around
